Viagra comes as a tablet containing sildenafil citrate, to take by mouth. For most men, the recommended dose is 50 mg. taken, as needed, approximately 1 hour before sexual activity. However, sildenafil citrate may be taken anywhere from 4 hours to 0.5 hour before sexual activity. Based on effectiveness and toleration, the dose may be increased to a maximum recommended dose of 100 mg or decreased to 25 mg. The maximum recommended dosing frequency is once per day.

5 Stupid Mistakes To Avoid In The Gym

But, lucky for you â this is your chance to learn from my (and other peopleâs) mistakes. In this post, Iâve decided to address an issue that I believe is very important to those of us with gym memberships. Let me explainâ¦

The gym is a shared space so, as with any shared space, there are certain unspoken rules that all members should adhere to in order out of common courtesy to other members.

At this point Iâll share a little anecdote from my gym as to what you SHOULD NOT do in a public space where youâre expected to show common decency to other people.

I was a member at a gym that happened to have an Olympic sized swimming pool. âThis is great!â I thought because Iâd be able to enjoy a low impact form of exercise, which was exactly what I was looking for while I was recovering from knee surgery. Anyway, the pool had slow and fast lanes, so the idea was that swimmers were supposed to share lanes with others who had a similar pace. Predictably, not everyone was fast enough for the fast lane or slow enough for the slow lane.

One day, I witnessed a guy getting increasingly frustrated in the slow lane because he was swimming behind someone who was a little TOO slow. What did he do? Did he politely ask the person if he could split the lane or go around him? Of course not! That would be too nice.

What he basically did was have a temper tantrum that involved a lot of shouting and then he actually grabbed the slow swimmer from behind and literally picked up the poor guy and shoved him aside. So obviously that is not socially acceptable. Itâs a shared space! If you want a swimming pool where no one will be in your way, get your own damn swimming pool!

So, whatâs the point of all this?

My point is, in a public space, there are rules of common decency people are supposed to follow and thatâs what this post is all about. Iâm going to list the FIVE stupidest common mistakes made people make that should always be avoidedâ¦

Number One â Waiting Around For Gym Equipment

All right, weâve all be thereâ¦ At the gym during peak hours waiting for the elliptical machine or the bench press while someone seemingly oblivious of your increasing panic setting in that youâll never get your turn on the machine. Hereâs a little tip for youâSTOP! Thereâs no reason to wait for equipment at the gym. Youâll never get an effective workout if you find yourself waiting around for five or ten minutes (or more!) while the person in front of you complete his or her workout. The best course of action here is to have a Plan B. Always have an alternate workout routine in mind when you go to the gymâespecially at peak hours. That way, youâll NEVER wait in line for equipment again!

Number Two â Skipping Your Warm-Up Routine

Hereâs the deal: I know a lot of us donât have a lot time when we go to the gym. Personally, I used to go to the gym early in the morning before work or in the early evening after work. These are usually the peak hours at the gym so a lot of people were getting their workout in, like me, before or after work. What this means is that most people are on very limited time when at the gym. I mention this because itâs super tempting to skip the warm-up routine to save time and jump right into the main part of the workout routine. I know itâs tempting but youâve got to fight that urge to skip the warm-up. Hereâs whyâif you skip your warm up routine, you will definitely injury yourself eventually, which would really suck. Injury will not only knock you out of commission for potentially a long time, but also some people develop such chronic injuries that they never work out again. The point isâitâs not worth it so donât skip the warm up!

Number Three â Doing Cardio BEFORE Weight Lifting

Recent studies have shown that doing cardio before you lift weights can dramatically increase your chances of injury. Itâs tempting to do cardio prior to lifting weights because you get a good warm-up exercise that increases your heart rate and loosens up your muscles. The problem is that you get fatigued when you do a substantial cardio session prior to lifting, which results in poor form and an increase in injuries. The solution? Do your cardio AFTER weight lifting bro!

Number Four â Doing The Same Routine Every Time

This is a very common mistake. Itâs tempting to go through the motions and do your workout routines week in and week out doing the same exercises. The problem here is that your body becomes accustomed to the routines and youâre not getting the most out of your time in the gym after a while because there isnât as much muscle growth or stress because your workout has become too routine and your body has adjusted to it. Thereâs something called âmuscle-confusionâ whichÂ forces your body to adjust to the stress youâre putting it under from exercise to exercise. That way, your body doesnât adjust to a particular routine, which means more muscle growth, which is a good thing if youâre trying to get ripped.

Number Five â Not Timing Your Rest Between Sets

Iâve seen A LOT of dudes in the gym over the years who love to chitchat between sets or walk around, look out the window or whatever. This is a HUGE mistake! You should never be in the gym for longer than 45-60 minutes. If youâre chatting or zoning out looking out the window between sets, youâre not working out correctly. Youâre letting your body cool down too much and youâre just wasting time. To get a good workout, limit your rest period and get the job done!

So there you have itâmy common mistakes to avoid at the gym. I should add one moreâSTOP GRUNTING SO LOUDLY AT THE GYM! Nobody wants to hear that so try and keep it down! Look, I get it, youâve got to exhale loudly between reps, but again, hereâs the dealâ¦ itâs a shared space so keep that in mind, be courteous to other members, and keep it to a reasonable decibel when youâre lifting heavy weights or hitting the gym hard.

Ok, so there you have it. I hope you find these rules useful and good luck getting ripped!
